Once a castle and home to Baron Silverharm, Darkfang Castle fell prey to the madness of Archmage Arugal and his dark magic that brought the Worgen to Azeroth. After Arugal was defeated by brave heroes, the fortress was abandoned… but not for long. Lord Godfrey, traitor to the Gilneans and Forsaken resides in the fortress with his lackeys.
This dungeon that is in the Forest of Argenteos has a medium difficulty if we compare it with the rest of the heroics of Cataclysm. In case you run into trouble, it might be a good idea to bring in people who can control undead creatures.

Before starting combat, it is convenient to clear the entire room of enemies. It is a very intense combat for healers and also has a certain DPS requirement.
Throughout the fight, he will launch little by little Excruciating pain so, each time, the skills will do more damage.
One of your main skills is Pain and suffering, which is damage over time channeled to a random party member with a duration of 7 seconds. Every second it channels, the damage will grow exponentially and kill your party member unless you interrupt it before it happens. In either case, the healer must dispel the effect it leaves.
His most dangerous ability is to Asphyxiate. It will stun the entire party and lower the entire party's health to 1% health. Right after you start using Execution postponed that will heal both the group and himself. It is advisable to recover health to an acceptable level but it must be interrupted quickly so that the boss does not heal much since if not, Pain and suffering it will kill us all later. The healer must take into account that Choking leaves you with 1 health point, you have the initial health you have so, although it is a good idea to raise the health of the group to prevent them from dying of any of the skills, it is not necessary that they be to 100%.
Once he reaches 20% health, he will change into his Dark Archangel form and start using Calamity until I die. At this point, it turns into a DPS and healing race. It is time to use all the special abilities.

Its most dangerous mix is the Mysterious Toxin with three possible effects. If green smoke appears, everyone must move continuously as it hurts if we are still.
